Let’s look more about what the Lord Jesus meant when He told us to be watchful and prepared. There are at least 3 things that we must be watchful of and prepared for. #1: is how we determine that the Son of man is the incarnate God and the Christ of the last days when He comes. If you are not watchful and prepared, you will not be able to welcome the Lord. This is because false christs appear in the last days to mislead people—those without the truth are easily misled by false christs. Just as the Lord Jesus said: “Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall mislead the very elect” (Matthew 24:23–24)
 If you do not understand the truth, you are in danger of being misled by false christs. It is dangerous if you are not watchful and prepared; if you fail to welcome the true Christ and are instead misled by a false christ, you will end up being punished. Therefore, in welcoming the Lord’s return, it is all too easy to take the wrong path and be misled by false christs if you are not watchful. This is the first thing that you must be watchful of.

#2: You must be watchful that if you do not know the truth and do not understand the truth, you are liable to be misled by  some religious leaders and the various heresies and fallacies of the religious world. Some people feel that Almighty God’s words are quite good when they hear them, but they think, “When investigating the true way, I must get my pastor’s agreement. 
That way, nothing can go wrong.” But the moment they ask their pastor, the pastor spouts some heresies and fallacies, and they are misled and deny all the words of Almighty God. In this situation, if they encounter someone who understands the truth and fellowships the truth to them, and they learn to discern between the true way and false ways, and ultimately recognize the true way, accept the truth, and are not pulled back in by the religious world, then they are blessed. But if they encounter evil people, or the absurd sort of people who lack spiritual understanding, and these people also spout some heresies and fallacies, then they will be misled away.
Therefore, if you are not watchful in welcoming the Lord, you are at risk of being misled. It will not do if you do not understand the prophecies of the Bible, if you do not have the ability to discern the truth, or if your caliber is poor; it absolutely won’t do if you are constantly disturbed by negative figures. This is the second thing that you must be watchful of. 

#3:You must be watchful that it is easy to develop notions about Christ if you do not have the truth. For example, when some people see that Christ has normal humanity and is not at all supernatural on the outside, they develop notions. They think, “When the Lord Jesus came, He performed signs and wonders. Why did the Almighty God of the last days not perform any signs and wonders? If He does not perform signs and wonders, is He really God Himself?” They do not know that the Almighty God of the last days expresses the truth to do the work of judgment and has made a group of overcomers. This is the greatest sign and wonder of all, and it is sufficient to prove that Almighty God is God incarnate and Christ of the last days. For another example, some people become negative when disasters come upon them, thinking that if Almighty God were the true God, He should protect them. It is dangerous for them to hold this notion, as they are liable to betray God! You see, people who do not understand the truth always develop notions about Christ—there are quite a few people like this. This is the third thing that you need to be watchful of. To welcome Christ of the last days, you must be watchful and prepare oil, and this mainly refers to these three things. Without being watchful of these three things, even if you accept Christ of the last days, you will still find it hard to stand firm when you encounter any disasters or temptations, or hear any negative propaganda or the misleading words of some people‼️
